Trident switchgear provides the total lifecycle cost and operational benefits of fuseless, electronically controlled, resettable overcurrent protection, with the safety and maintenance benefits of an environmentally friendly solid dielectric dead-front design.

Utilizing G&W Electric’s time-proven, submersible epoxy insulation, Trident switchgear load and fault interrupting vacuum interrupters are fully encapsulated. This solid dielectric insulation eliminates the degradation of dielectric integrity commonly associated with oil and air insulated switchgear. 

The Trident switchgear family of products are available for both padmount and vault solutions. Trident switchgear is ideal for harsh environments, such as wet vaults, with its ability to withstand extended periods of submersion, and meets IP68 per IEC 60529 for 20 feet over 20 days.
